The King of Nothing

CNN just recorded its fewest viewers in 20 years and anchorman John King sighed that it's tough "to be in the middle and have all sides", to pursue a "more objective style." He was comparing his cable network to upstart MSNBC which he described as "left, and far left."

Good grief.

CNN is dieing a slow death, first, because it's finally had to face real competition in the form of FOX News. But also because it leans left and just won't admit it.

MSNBC succeeds by comparison, and only by comparison, because, although it won't admit it either, it's brazenly left.
